    Display cutting out randomly after hard drive swap


    I recently removed a 1TB hard disk from my PC and installed a 2TB SSD in its place. Both the old hard disk and the new SSD serve as secondary storage for games on my PC, my OS is installed on a 256GB SSD which I have not touched. The only thing I changed was which SATA power cable connects to the main SSD with the OS on it, just so that the cables would fit better. Before I removed the original 1TB hard disk, I connected my new SSD externally and moved the files over, then went into Steam and transferred all my games to the SSD through the Steam UI.

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
